  1. How to give a talk Dr. Ron Lembke

  2. How much text to put on a slide? • Probably everybody in your talk can read English, and they are reading your whole slide while you are talking. • People can read text really fast. Way, way faster than you can talk. For example, most of you have read this far before I got a whole sentence spoken. • If everyone is paying attention to reading your slide, they aren’t really paying attention to what you are saying. • For example, once you have read this sentence, clap your hands. Seriously, really do it. Clap your hands. I want to see who is first to clap their hands. • See what I mean? People can read really fast.
